One Thousand Twenty-Four Out of Oil

Under the scorching sun, the wilderness of Libya. If the fierce battle on the Eastern Front represents the bloodiest and most desperate war process, everything here has a taste of primitive desolation. But the future can be achieved here, because it has been proven to be rich in oil.

On an oil field built in the desert, huge mechanical equipment is swaying. On the nameplate of the equipment warmed by the sun, there are lines of neat German words engraved, indicating that these equipment come from German Imperial Oil Industrial Company.

This company is an energy company under the Bailanhua Group, responsible for finding and exporting oil in Libya. Apparently in the past time they found oil and worked out how to extract it. Although Libya's infrastructure is very limited, with the stimulation of resources such as oil, everything is not a problem.

At the beginning, Italy and Germany cooperated to exploit these oil resources, and soon an oil pipeline was built, extending all the way to Tunis. Later, the oil was directly used on the North African battlefield, so the German army began to build oil processing plants in Tobruk and other places. Although the quality of gasoline and other products produced is not high, it is much better than the Germans' coal-to-oil conversion.

With this small oil factory, the Axis has saved a large number of ships transporting oil in the Mediterranean Sea, and these saved ships have begun to transport more ammunition and weaponry. The transportation of the Axis countries has never been so smooth. The entire Mediterranean Sea has become the inner lake of the Axis countries. Except for the occasional British submarine that sneaks in and lays a few mines to interfere, it is even the same as in peacetime.

As the early oil exploration process continued, more and more equipment and experts poured into Libya from Italy and Germany. Compared with Romania, where the conditions are mature, everything here is still in the original stage of exploitation, and this stage is the easiest to produce miracles , and the easiest way to make people rich, so everyone rushed to this land to get the first pot of gold with good wishes.

Of course, compared to the distant Baku and the war-torn Middle East, it also has a unique geographical advantage. Once the oil fields here are exploited on a large scale, the whole of Europe will get another stable and safe oil supply station.

This is also a huge temptation for Italy itself. The main reason why Mussolini was vacillating was that German technical experts claimed that the Italian colony of Libya had oil reserves, and the quantity was not low. With this in mind, some high-ranking Italians, including Mussolini, began to study the possibility of Italy's withdrawal from the war.

Not all countries hope to expand their own interests through aggression. At least when the fighting power is not as good as others, Italy has moved its own crooked mind. Mussolini hopes to turn Italy into another Switzerland at a critical juncture, making money on both sides as a neutral country.

Next to a drilling well that has already begun construction,

Dozens of workers are busy in full swing. These workers are from Germany. Many of them are skilled workers who have participated in the construction of small Austrian oil fields. They came here to better exploit Libyan oil.

They have been working continuously for more than ten days, and most of their work during this time has been fruitless. After all, Libya is too vast, and not all detections and searches will be rewarded accordingly. Akado only knows that there is oil in Libya, but he really can't remember exactly where it is. I vaguely remember that it was south of Brega Port, not far from Ras Lanuf.

Fortunately, after some hard work, they finally confirmed an oil production location, and they couldn't estimate how many reserves this oil field has. This is a huge oil field. At least for now, this oil field is not inferior to the oil fields in Romania.

In order to extract oil as soon as possible, not only skilled workers, survey technicians, and even mining equipment, the Germans helped Italy prepare, and the Bailanhua Group took out a large amount of supplies, specially in Benghazi and other port cities Oil storage facilities and refineries were built.

Everything is for this moment today. To say that you are not nervous is to be deceiving yourself. These workers and several engineers in charge of drilling are nervously debugging the oil well bit by bit, hoping to see a surprising scene in a few minutes.

Time passed by, no one spoke, and everyone nervously watched the drilling well, hoping to see oil gushing out in the next second. If this oil field has an estimated reserve and can increase its production capacity to that of Romania, the Axis powers can immediately get rid of the oil-poor label and become an alliance that is completely self-sufficient in oil.

"I said, the team leader should be out of oil soon, right?" A worker with naked upper body wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands while asking anxiously. A middle-aged skilled worker with a shirt on.

The worker had a resolute angular beard and looked very calm and extraordinary, but at this time he also kept his mouth shut and looked up at the drilling well above his head waiting for oil injection with a pair of deep eyes. Obviously he is also very nervous now, because at this time he is not as confident as usual.

Suddenly he felt the ground tremble under his feet, and then his eyes widened. Sure enough, everything was within Yuan's expectations, and there was indeed a large amount of oil reserves here. With this slight vibration, everyone became tense.

There was a roaring sound from the ground, as if something was about to break through the shackles and spew out, and soon black liquid spewed out from the oil well. These oil resources, which are more precious than gold, suddenly appeared in all places. in the eyes of people.

"My God! Oil is coming out! Oil is coming out!" A female worker screamed excitedly, and she hugged the oil-stained male worker beside her, like a couple who had been in love for a long time, crazy kisses. Of course, everyone knows that in their distant hometown in Germany, they all have their own families, and no one will take what happened today seriously, but no one can forget such an exciting moment.

"Yeah! We finally found it! Finally we got out!" A man wearing glasses whispered excitedly while wiping his tears, "God, our hard work has finally paid off!" Ah, I'm so excited."

"Quick! Send a telegram to Bai Lanhua's headquarters! Quick! Use the latest password! My God! We are rich! We are about to become the heroes of our motherland!" in the first sentence. Maybe it was because he was so excited that he kept waving his hands while talking.

The workers started to get busy, cleaned up the oil well, and then began to mass produce precious oil, while the officials in charge ran to the tent behind them, where their radio stations were, and they wanted to spread the good news thousands of miles away of native Germany.

Libya's oil production capacity has begun to expand and is about to more than double. This good news is enough to excite the whole country, and the empire's economy will also be brought to a higher level. This oil field will be like a booster, injecting new strength into the empire's war, so that the empire's war on the Eastern Front will eventually lead to victory.

He took out the telegraph, connected the power cord of the diesel motor, and waited for the motor to stabilize before he began to send out the contents according to the mark on the codebook with slightly trembling hands. After sending, he Only then did I realize that I was crying with joy unknowingly.

"My Yuan!" An officer knocked on the door of the office and entered the room after getting permission. He stood at attention at the door and waited for Akado to raise his head from the official document before raising his hand in salute: "From News from inside Libya."

This is undoubtedly good news. Akado was stunned for a moment, and then became inexplicably happy: "The news from Libya? So, there is progress in the oil exploration and mining operations over there?"

The officer nodded quickly, then walked to Akado's desk, and put the telegram on Yuan's desk: "My Yuan, the telegram said that another oil field in Libya has begun to produce oil on a large scale. In less than a week, we can more than double our oil production there."

Of course, Akado knows what this more than double means, which means that Libya's oil can finally support Rommel's North African combat operations, and at the same time start to feed back the European continent. With this oil field, the Third Reich would no longer have to worry about the shortage of fuel. Tens of thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of planes could be launched without any scruples to completely destroy those stubborn enemies.

"Very good! More than twice as much. So, have the oil pipeline to Brega Port, and the transportation road and other projects been completed?" After Akado muttered, he raised his volume and asked if he was sitting. On his side the industrial sector leader Speer.

"I have to ask your wife, Ms. Mercedes, my yuan." Speer made a rare joke: "I don't need to say more, you should also know that it is only the investment in Libya. Yuan, you are now Germany's leading super rich man."
